In a statement, the directors of AR, Ivor Stodolsky and Marita Muukkonen announced the moment:
“The invitation of Artists at Risk (AR) to Frieze New York opened an incredible opportunity to showcase a whole new set of artists following the successful Solidarity Prints campaign. Our new SOLIDARITY initiative focuses on the work of the very artists those household names came together to support: AR-Residents and associated artists issuing from contexts and themes of art at risk.”
All works in this Viewing Room are poster-size prints of the depicted artwork sold at 200 Euros each in an open edition.
Each participating artist receives a flat fee for their participation, plus 25% of all proceeds on the sale of their work. The remaining proceeds go directly to supporting and facilitating the safety of artists at risk from around the world.
